Though, all your answers were good, I had President Bush in mind. As a whole there is so much support for our troops by the average guy or gal I was surprised at the number of people who thought that was the answer. For the most part we can all clap ourselves on the back. When we are appraised of faults in the system such as the VA system failure, that Congress was overloaded with our outrage. We take care of our soldiers and would do even better if the dollars we do pay were sent to the soldier and not some corporation. Sorry if the poem was confusing. Liz
Red is for the blood bled in vain for you Blue are the states you shafted of money that is due White is the color of the dead who have needlessly died for you Who are you to cause all this grief when it means nothing to you?
“Georgie” has been responsible for more deaths than Saddam ever dreamed. The actions of this administration and his puppet masters have destroyed our reputation in the world, perverted our Constitution, stolen our civil liberties and tortured other human beings. “They” will go down in history as the worst administration our Country ever produced!
I like your poem. I agree with your premise. Thank you for sharing your soul with us. “We The People” must continue to speak out against these people. I hope we can survive their regime’s actions.
No question in my mind who the perpetrator is!! It was very clever of
you to couch the question this way. Our beloved red-white-&-blue has
been besmirched!! Time to have a new flag made. . .as soon as we rid ourselves of the Head Besmircher, right? Thanks for the wry smile.

around the world, people have come to think of the red, white and blue as the american flag. although, considering england's colonialism, it might be they that first put a negative thought into people's minds when those three colors wave in the air. and we american's, who are so poor on history, forgot.
Nice riddle but I have no clue other than maybe other countries that we constantly help when in trouble and they give nothing back. Great head scratcher.
I give up. Who is the you?
A very shatering, though-provoking piece.

Yup, you are right, The Union Jack is Red White and Blue, and over the last 2000 yrs we have helped many a nation, and help build many from scratch... nice one.
Red is for St George who slayed many a dragon, even on our own in ww2.
Blue is for St Andrew, who are the scots, celts who helped us.
White is the colour every county shows us as they surrender to Britannia's might....
